Learn MoreHow we work a chimney in Torrance
Torrance wraps around Lomita on two sides, so it gets more of our ladder time than anywhere but home. Tract houses from the 1950s and 1960s often have a brick chimney with white chalky streaks on the face. That is water moving through the brick, and we trace it on the roof to a split crown or an open joint before we mix any mortar. Away from the beach, a Torrance chimney rusts slowly and wears mostly from sun and age. We look hardest at the crown and the top few courses, because that is where joints open first, and the same crew comes back to grind and repoint them.
What We Check on the Roof
White streaks on the brick traced to a split crown or open joints at the top of the stack.
What the Same Crew Fixes
Joints ground out and repointed by hand, and crowns recast where the old wash has split.
Brush Work Here
Tract-house flues brushed from below with rotary heads, smoke shelf scraped clean.
